Open Call for recent graduates from Tipperary

This year’s collaboration with Clonmel Junction Arts Festival links in with the Festival theme "Legacy X Next", where the "X" represents a transition or a bridge between the legacy of existing artists and the emergence of the next generation. For this exhibition, the focus is firmly on the future– specifically on recent graduates from Tipperary who have the potential of being the next generation of legacy makers within the Arts. 

This is a wonderful opportunity to showcase the work of emerging artists and to support them in their initial years of professional practice.
